Rescue 100 project

Many of you have heard about the 111 dogs that were taken into ACS custody almost two weeks ago. The dogs’ rescuer became overwhelmed caring for the dozens of dogs dumped in her neighborhood, and she is working with ACS to ensure these wonderful animals get a second chance at loving, permanent homes.

We need YOUR HELP to find homes or places of refuge for these dogs and ACS Foster/Rescue Coordinator Dagi Henry has been working around the clock on a plan many people are calling the “Rescue 100 project.”

The plan’s been approved, but it’s up to us to make sure this Rescue 100 project is a success. These dogs are in good health. Many of these dogs have been sterilized. All of them have names and stories that will make you cry. These dogs deserve homes. Please help us give them a second chance at finding forever families!

We will have a Rescue 100 Adopt-a-thon on March 8, Saturday, at the Old ACS Facility  210 Tuleta across from the San Antonio Zoo. Details to follow! Any animal not adopted will be available for ACS approved rescues on March 9, Sunday at the old Facility.
